- Embodiments of the inventionare directed to a method and a system for conducting payment transactions using a mobile phone or other mobile communication device as a relay.
- a consumerselects items for a purchase at a merchant.
- the merchantenters information about the items into an access device (e.g., a point-of-sale terminal).
- the merchantsends the transaction information to consumer's mobile communication device (e.g., mobile phone).
- the mobile communication devicerelays the transaction information to the issuer of a consumer's account for authorization.
- the issuersends a message authorizing the transaction to the merchant to complete the transaction.
- Certain embodiments of the inventionmay provide one or more advantages to consumers, merchants, issuers, and others.
- An advantage to a consumeris that his identification information is more secure. Since the consumer can communicate the transaction and identification information directly to the payment processing network through his mobile communication device, the access device (e.g., point of sale terminal) no longer requires the identification information to conduct the transaction. Thus, the consumer does not need to provide his identification information to the access device, which eliminates the problem of identity theft at the access device. In many cases, identity theft can occur when the access device is located at a fraudulent merchant or when the access device itself is unauthorized, because it was placed at a legitimate merchant by an unauthorized person. Further, a direct line of communication from the consumer to the payment processing network is easier to protect and thus more secure.
- the mobile communication devicecan include a secure chip with encryption software. Since the payment processing network communicates directly with the mobile communication device, the payment processing network can provide frequent and timely updates of encryption software to the mobile communication device. Thus, the consumer's identity information is more secure in this system.
- Another advantage to a consumeris that the consumer has more control over his identity information and over the transaction in general.
- the consumerhad to provide his identity information (e.g., a PAN or personal account number) to the access device (e.g., the point of sale terminal) in order to conduct a transaction.
- the mobile communication devicehas much of the functionality of an access device.
- the mobile communication devicecan be used to initiate, authorize, and/or terminate the transaction. Since the consumer is in control of the mobile communication device, the consumer decides when to conduct the transaction and to whom he will provide his identity information. Thus, control of the transaction and identity information is given back to the consumer.
- An advantage to merchants and issuersis that these methods and systems are easier to secure and can prevent monetary losses due to identity theft. As discussed above, these systems are inherently more secure and thus should reduce fraud and money lost to fraud. Further, the issuer can save money by concentrating their fraud deterrent efforts on protecting information communicated between the payment processing network and the mobile communication device.
- the networkcan more easily secure the communications to the consumer.
- the mobile communication devicecan include a secure chip with encryption software which is frequently updated by the payment processing network.
- the encryption algorithmscan be more complex since communications are not sent through a series of other entities.
- the payment processing networkcan develop a more sophisticated transaction process since it has a more detailed account of the transaction.
- the mobile communication devicecan receive greater detail about the transaction and relay it to the payment processing network. With increased information, the payment processing network has the opportunity to develop new and more sophisticated techniques of processing transactions.

Abstract
Description
- This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/982,682 filed Oct. 25, 2007, entitled “Mobile Phone Payment System and Method,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
- Identity theft and identity fraud have become increasingly serious problem as devices for engaging in financial transactions have increased in number. These fraudulent activities have become very costly to consumers, merchants, financial institutions, and others.
- Prior systems provide various fraud deterrent techniques. For example, some systems ensure that payment devices are only used by authorized cardholders. As another example, some systems encrypt communications with identity information.
- These fraud deterrent systems can still be improved. For example, consumers in prior systems typically provide their identity information to the merchant at a point-of sale terminal to authenticate themselves. The identity information is typically forwarded through a series of entities to authorize and process the transaction. At any point along this line of communication, identity information can be stolen or used fraudulently. For example, a wireless transmitter can be implanted in a point of sale terminal that records PINs and account numbers, and sends them back to an identity thief to be used fraudulently.
- Embodiments of this disclosure address these and other problems.
- Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for conducting payment transactions using a mobile communication device (e.g., mobile phone) as a relay.
- An embodiment of the disclosure is directed to a method that receives transaction information associated with a transaction at a mobile communication device from a merchant. The method also sends the transaction information with the mobile communication device to an issuer associated with the mobile communication device. The issuer thereafter sends an authorization response message to the merchant.
- Another embodiment is directed to a computer readable medium having code for receiving transaction information associated with a transaction at a mobile communication device from a merchant. The computer readable medium also has code for sending the transaction information with the mobile communication device to an issuer associated with the mobile communication device. The issuer thereafter sends an authorization response message to the merchant. Another embodiment is directed to a server computer having the above-described computer readable medium.
- Another embodiment is directed to a phone having a computer readable medium comprising code for receiving transaction information associated with a transaction from a merchant and code for sending the transaction information to an issuer associated with the mobile communication device. The issuer thereafter sends an authorization response message to the merchant. The phone also has a processor in communication with the computer readable medium.
- Another embodiment is directed to a method that receives transaction information associated with a transaction from a mobile communication device wherein mobile communication device receives the transaction information from a merchant. The method also sends the transaction information to an issuer associated with the mobile communication device, wherein the issuer thereafter sends an authorization response message to the merchant.
- Another embodiment is directed to a computer readable medium comprising code for receiving transaction information associated with a transaction from a mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device received the transaction information from a merchant. The computer readable medium also has code for sending the transaction information to an issuer associated with the mobile communication device, wherein the issuer thereafter sends an authorization response message to the merchant. Another embodiment is directed to a server computer having the above-described computer readable medium.
- These and other embodiments of the invention are described in further detail below.

In some embodiments, a consumer selects items for a purchase at a merchant. The merchant enters information about the items into an access device (e.g., a point-of-sale terminal). The merchant sends the transaction information to consumer's mobile communication device (e.g., mobile phone). The mobile communication device relays the transaction information to the issuer of a consumer's account for authorization. The issuer sends a message authorizing the transaction to the merchant to complete the transaction.
- Certain embodiments of the invention may provide one or more advantages to consumers, merchants, issuers, and others. An advantage to a consumer is that his identification information is more secure. Since the consumer can communicate the transaction and identification information directly to the payment processing network through his mobile communication device, the access device (e.g., point of sale terminal) no longer requires the identification information to conduct the transaction. Thus, the consumer does not need to provide his identification information to the access device, which eliminates the problem of identity theft at the access device. In many cases, identity theft can occur when the access device is located at a fraudulent merchant or when the access device itself is unauthorized, because it was placed at a legitimate merchant by an unauthorized person. Further, a direct line of communication from the consumer to the payment processing network is easier to protect and thus more secure. For example, the mobile communication device can include a secure chip with encryption software. Since the payment processing network communicates directly with the mobile communication device, the payment processing network can provide frequent and timely updates of encryption software to the mobile communication device. Thus, the consumer's identity information is more secure in this system.
- Another advantage to a consumer is that the consumer has more control over his identity information and over the transaction in general. In prior systems, the consumer had to provide his identity information (e.g., a PAN or personal account number) to the access device (e.g., the point of sale terminal) in order to conduct a transaction. In this system, the mobile communication device has much of the functionality of an access device. The mobile communication device can be used to initiate, authorize, and/or terminate the transaction. Since the consumer is in control of the mobile communication device, the consumer decides when to conduct the transaction and to whom he will provide his identity information. Thus, control of the transaction and identity information is given back to the consumer.
- An advantage to merchants and issuers is that these methods and systems are easier to secure and can prevent monetary losses due to identity theft. As discussed above, these systems are inherently more secure and thus should reduce fraud and money lost to fraud. Further, the issuer can save money by concentrating their fraud deterrent efforts on protecting information communicated between the payment processing network and the mobile communication device.
- An advantage to the payment processing network is that the network can more easily secure the communications to the consumer. As discussed above, the mobile communication device can include a secure chip with encryption software which is frequently updated by the payment processing network. Also, the encryption algorithms can be more complex since communications are not sent through a series of other entities.
- Another advantage to the payment processing network is that the payment processing network can develop a more sophisticated transaction process since it has a more detailed account of the transaction. The mobile communication device can receive greater detail about the transaction and relay it to the payment processing network. With increased information, the payment processing network has the opportunity to develop new and more sophisticated techniques of processing transactions.

consumer 20 selects items (e.g., products and/or services) to purchase frommerchant 40. A list of the items in the transaction, the total amount of the transaction, and a merchant ID along with other transaction information is shown ondisplay 44 ofaccess device 42. Consumer 20 initiates the transaction. For example,consumer 20 can request thatmerchant 40 process the transaction andmerchant 40 can in response activateaccess device 42 to initiate the transaction. As another example,consumer 20 may interact hismobile communication device 30 withaccess device 42 atmerchant 40 to initiate the transaction.- Once the transaction is initiated,
access device 42 sends the transaction information tomobile communication device 30 using a contactless or contact-based mode. In some cases,mobile communication device 30 may need to translate the transaction information into a form that is compatible for use bypayment processing network 60. Mobile communication device 30 relays the transaction information along with other information (e.g., a phone number) associated with themobile communication 30 to server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60. In some cases, server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 will not receive the transmission of information until theconsumer 20 sends a PIN and the PIN is verified. Server computer60(a) uses the PIN to authenticate theconsumer 20.- Server computer60(a) of
payment processing network 60 processes the information received frommobile communication device 30. For example, server computer60(a) processes the information to determine an account number and issuer associated withconsumer 20. For example, server computer60(a) inpayment processing network 60 retrieves data from database60(c) that links the information associated with the mobile communication device30 (e.g., phone number) to the account number and other consumer information. Server computer60(a) uses this data to determine the consumer information (e.g., account number) from the phone number. Server computer60(a) also retrieves data from database60(c) that links the consumer data such as account number to theissuer 70. Server computer60(a) uses this data to determine theissuer 70 associated with theconsumer 20. - In other embodiments, the consumer information such as the account number can be stored on
mobile communication device 30. In these embodiments,mobile communication device 30 relays the consumer information with the account number to the server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60. In other embodiments,mobile communication device 30 relays one or more account numbers and other information ofconsumer 20 to server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60. - The payment processing network now has information about the
consumer 20 holding themobile communication device 30, theissuer 70 having an account associated with themobile communication device 30, themerchant 50 based on the merchant ID or access device ID, and the transaction. Server computer60(a) sends the information in an authorization request message toissuer 70.Issuer 70 processes the authorization request message and determines whether to authorize or decline the transaction. - Once
issuer 70 decides whether to authorize or decline the transaction,issuer 70 sends an authorization response message to server computer60(a) indicating that the transaction is authorized (or is declined). Theissuer 70 may decline the transaction for a variety of reasons (e.g., insufficient funds, risky transaction, etc.). Server computer60(a) sends the authorization response message toacquirer 50.Acquirer 50 forwards the authorization response message tomerchant 40. Aftermerchant 40 receives the authorization response message,access device 42 atmerchant 40 may provide the authorization response message toconsumer 20. The authorization response message may be displayed ondisplay 44 ofaccess device 42 or may be printed on a receipt. In some cases, server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 sends the authorization response message directly toconsumer 20. For example, the authorization response message may be sent from thepayment processing network 60 directly to themobile communication device 30 without being sent through theacquirer 50. - In some cases,
payment processing network 60 can authorize the transaction on behalf ofissuer 70. In these cases, server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 processes the information received frommobile communication device 30. After processing, server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 has information about theconsumer 20 holding themobile communication device 30, theissuer 70 having an account associated with themobile communication device 30, themerchant 50 based on the merchant ID or access device ID, and the transaction. With this information, server computer60(a) can determine whether to authorize or decline the transaction on behalf of theissuer 70. Server computer60(a) sends an authorization response message toacquirer 50.Acquirer 50 forwards the authorization response message tomerchant 40 which forward it toconsumer 20. Server computer60(a) may also send a message toissuer 70 indicating that the transaction has been authorized on their behalf and including other suitable information required by theissuer 70 to process the transaction. - At the end of the day, a normal clearing and settlement process can be conducted. A clearing process is a process of exchanging financial details between
merchant 40 andissuer 70 to facilitate posting to a consumer's account and reconciliation of the consumer's settlement position. Clearing and settlement can occur simultaneously. - In another embodiment,
mobile communication device 30 relays the transaction information and information associated with themobile communication device 30 directly to theissuer 70. The information may be sent in any suitable form such as an authorization request message. In this embodiment, theissuer 70 determines whether to authorize or decline the transaction based on the information received frommobile communication device 30. If theissuer 70 requires more information fromconsumer 20 to decide whether to authorize or decline,issuer 70 may send a request message for more information toconsumer 20 throughmobile communication device 30. Onceissuer 70 decides whether to authorize or decline the transaction,issuer 70 sends an authorization request message toconsumer 30 or tomerchant 40 throughacquirer 50. - In yet another embodiment, server computer60(a) of
payment processing network 60 may send the authorization response message directly to themobile communication device 30 operated by theconsumer 20 instead of to the merchant'saccess device 42. Theconsumer 20 can provide the authorization response message to theaccess device 42 tomerchant 40 using themobile communication device 30. For example,consumer 20 may cause themobile communication device 30 to pass by a contactless reader ofaccess device 42 so that theaccess device 42 can read the authorization response message frommobile communication device 30. - In one embodiment,
merchant 40 may be an ecommerce business that sells its products and/or services on a website. The website is provided by a server computer operated bymerchant 40 or another entity on behalf ofmerchant 40.Consumer 20 select items on the website for purchase. Onceconsumer 20 selects the items, transaction information such as a transaction amount and transaction code is provided toconsumer 20.Consumer 20 enters the transaction information into themobile communication device 30.Consumer 20 uses themobile communication device 30 to relay the transaction information and payment information in a message to thepayment processing network 60.Merchant 40 sends the transaction information in a message topayment processing network 60.Payment processing network 60 matches the message from themerchant 40 to the message from themobile communication device 30 using the transaction information (e.g., a transaction code).Payment processing network 60 processes the transaction based on the transaction information from themerchant 40 and the payment information from theconsumer 30. In this embodiment,merchant 40 does not receive payment information ofconsumer 20. - In one embodiment,
consumer 20 can also request emergency cards frompayment processing network 60 using theirmobile communication device 30. For example,consumer 20 may have lost their payment card.Consumer 20 can use theirmobile communication device 30 to send a message with a request for a replacement card to server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 to forward toissuer 70 or send a message with the request directly toissuer 70. In response, a replacement card or new account information may be sent tomobile communication device 30 or a replacement card may be mailed toconsumer 20. - Modifications, additions, or omissions may be made to
system 10 without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The components ofsystem 10 may be integrated or separated according to particular needs. For example, although separate functional blocks are shown for an issuer, payment processing network, and acquirer, some entities perform all of these functions and may be included in embodiments of invention. Moreover, the operations ofsystem 10 may be performed by more, fewer, or other system modules. Additionally, operations ofsystem 10 may be performed using any suitable logic comprising software, hardware, other logic, or any suitable combination of the preceding.

Suitable output devices may includedisplay 44, other displays, and audio output devices. Exemplary computer readable media may include one or more memory chips, disk drives, etc.FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of processing a payment transaction using a mobile communication device as a relay, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure.- The method begins by
mobile communication device 30 receiving transaction information from merchant40 (step100).Consumer 20 may interact themobile communication device 30 withaccess device 42 atmerchant 40 to initiate the transmission of the transaction information. In some cases, the information may be sent in the form of a message tomobile communication device 30. - In one embodiment,
mobile communication device 30 receives the information frommerchant 40 by reading the information fromdisplay 44 onaccess device 42.Mobile communication device 30 can have any suitable device for reading the information fromdisplay 44. For example,mobile communication device 30 may have a camera which takes a picture image ofdisplay 44.Mobile communication device 30 orpayment processing network 60 may have optical character recognition software that converts the image into transaction data. In another example,mobile communication device 30 may have a bar code reader that reads bar codes fromdisplay 44 to determine transaction information. Consumer 20 operatesmobile communication device 30 to communicate a request to transmit transaction information topayment processing network 60 along with information about the mobile communication device30 (e.g., a phone number). In the illustrated embodiment,payment processing network 60 requires a PIN before allowing information to be received atpayment processing network 60.Consumer 20 enters a PIN intomobile communication device 30 or another device in communication with payment processing network60 (step105).Payment processing network 60 authenticatesconsumer 20 with the PIN and the information about themobile communication device 30 and authorizes the transmission of transaction information.- After receiving authorization to send the transmission,
mobile communication device 30 sends an authorization request message topayment processing network 60 with the transaction information and information associated with the mobile communication device30 (step110). In the illustrated embodiment,payment processing network 60 either: a) authorizes the transaction on behalf ofissuer 70, or b) forwards the authorization request message toissuer 70 to authorize the transaction. - If
issuer 70 is authorizing the transaction,payment processing network 60 forwards the authorization request message to issuer70 (step120).Issuer 70 processes the authorization request message to determine whether to authorize or decline the transaction (step130). Onceissuer 70 decides whether to authorize or decline the transaction,issuer 70 sends an authorization response message topayment processing network 60 indicating that the transaction is authorized (or is declined) (step140). - If
payment processing network 60 is authorizing the transaction,payment processing network 60 processes the authorization request message to determine whether to authorize or decline the transaction (step150).Payment processing network 60 determines whether more information is required to make the decision to authorize or decline (step160). - If more information is required,
payment processing network 60, communicates a request for more information tomobile communication device 30 and receives a response with new information fromconsumer 20 through mobile communication device30 (step170). Thepayment processing network 60 processes the new information from consumer20 (step150). - If
payment processing network 60 can make the decision to authorize or decline and does not need more information fromconsumer 20,payment processing network 60 sends an authorization response message toacquirer 50 indicated that the transaction is authorized (or declined) (step180).Acquirer 50 forwards the authorization response message to merchant40 (step190) and the method ends (step200). - In some embodiments,
access device 42 receives information fromconsumer 20. In one case,access device 42 may receive information directly fromconsumer 20 such as identification information from an identification card (e.g., driver's license) to authenticate the consumer to themerchant 40. In another case,access device 42 may receive information fromconsumer 20 through a payment card interacting withaccess device 42. In yet another case,access device 42 may receive information fromconsumer 20 through amobile communication device 30 interacting withaccess device 42. - In one embodiment where
access device 42 receives information fromconsumer 20,access device 42 receives information from a payment card whenconsumer 20 initiates a transaction with merchant49 using a payment card. For example,consumer 20 may swipe the payment card through an appropriate slot of a cardreader ofaccess device 42 so that theaccess device 42 can read information from the payment card. The information received byaccess device 42 from the payment card can include any suitable type of information related to payment cards such as an account number, issuer name, consumer name, and other information related to the payment card. The information may be encrypted.Access device 42 sends this information back to themobile communication device 30 along with transaction information such as the amount of the transaction and a merchant ID or POS terminal ID.Mobile communication device 30 forwards this information directly topayment processing network 60 or throughmerchant 40 andacquirer 50 back topayment processing network 60. This information can be used to process the transaction. - In another embodiment where
access device 42 receives information fromconsumer 20,access device 42 receives information frommobile communication device 30 whenconsumer 20 interacts themobile communication device 30 withaccess device 42. For example,consumer 20 may initiate a transaction by causing themobile communication device 30 to pass by a contactless reader of theaccess device 42 so that theaccess device 42 can read information frommobile communication device 30. Some information that could be received includes an identifier such as a verification value, phone number, or SIM card number from themobile communication device 30.Access device 42 sends this information back to themobile communication device 30 along with transaction information such as the amount of the transaction and a merchant ID or POS terminal ID.Mobile communication device 30 forwards this information directly topayment processing network 60 or throughmerchant 40 andacquirer 50 back topayment processing network 60. This information can be used to authenticate the transaction since it indicates that themobile communication device 30 andaccess device 42 were interacting during the transaction. - In one embodiment,
merchant 40 may sign the transaction or otherwise create an electronic signature. The electronic signature is sent along with other transaction information tomobile communication device 30. The electronic signature may be used to authorize the transaction. - In many embodiments of the disclosure,
merchant 30 does not need to receive any payment information or other identity information fromconsumer 30. In one exemplary embodiment,merchant 40 generates transaction information including the items in the transaction and including a transaction code associated with the transaction. The transaction can be of any suitable type such as a mail order, phone transaction, or in-store purchase.Mobile communication device 30 receives the transaction code from themerchant 30. The transaction code can be provided tomobile communication device 30 via theaccess device 42, through a phone call, through the Internet, or by other suitable method.Consumer 20 sends the transaction code (which may be in alphanumeric form) and payment information to server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 usingmobile communication device 30. The transaction code may be permanent or temporary. The latter is desirable, since they temporary codes can be reused and are of little value if they are intercepted.Merchant 30 also sends the transaction information including the items in the transaction and the transaction code topayment processing network 60. Server computer60(a) ofpayment processing network 60 can link the transaction information regarding the items in the transaction frommerchant 30 to the payment information (e.g., a BIN) associated with themobile communication device 30. Then, the server computer60(a) may forward the combined information to theissuer 70 as previously described. - Modifications, additions, or omissions may be made to the method without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The method may include more, fewer, or other steps. Additionally, steps may be performed in any suitable order without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
